So I went on a hog hunt down in PA, and we didn't get anything. We were told that the land had a pig problem, but that wasn't the case. SO, now that we are all hopped up on killing some bacon I was wondering if anyone knew a person who needed some pigs killed. Distance isn't a problem we'd drive/fly.

I understand Texas has a hog issue, big time. You might call or write their dept. of agriculture for info. I guess their problem is outta hand, a small band of hogs really tear up crop fields in a short time.
I remember reading something about how they need to kill 80% of the hogs each year just to keep the population numbers the same. That is a lot of ****ing bacon!

The good thing about pigs is that if they are in the area it is pretty easy to find sign, the root the shit out of everything. I have lived on the east coast for the last 6 years and have been jonesing something terrible for a hog hunt and haven't been able to find one that wasn't a 12 hour drive or a high fenced ranch (which I have no interest in). Good luck with your quest for a hog. They are by far my favorite game to hunt, especially with a bow. Smart critters, a phenomenal nose but weak eye sight. Great animals to stalk with a bow since they aren't usually as alert as a deer which always has it's head on a swivel.
Checkout hillside ranch in Aurora Maine- I'm going up there with my SKS this weekend, will let you know. Got one last year at the Skinner Bog Ranch in Dixmont, ME. last year with an M1 Garand, though he may now have shut down...

I'd love to hear your report when you are done with them. I am still looking for a hog "hunt" to take my 6 year old on with me. Most of these places aren't what I would call a hunt but that's a different discussion. Looking forward to your report.
If you want to kill some bacon, you should find a farm, the wild pigs I have eaten were quite lean

I've taken 2 Russian Boar, 1 boar, 1 sow, both in the 200 pound range. BOTH were excellent eating, and the boar actually had better flavor than the sow. The meat has NOTHING in common with domestic pork (flavor, color, texture) much closer to fine beef. Russian Boar is NOT the other white meat!
Try around Dell City, TX. Can't swing a dead cat without hitting one. Pull up the TX hog map. All of West Texas is RED (over populated).

How far have they spread in NH?
NH has a small population of hogs that escaped from hunting preserve. NY has a wild population of hogs and they are reported in Conn too . Next 10 years they will be in all the lower 48 states.
Check out "Pig Bomb" if you have netflix. Very interesting stuff.
